Love this. After receiving two as Christmas presents, last year I made an intention to wear more hats. It was a lot of fun, including a magical day spent ribbon shopping with my mum following a spontaneous purchase of a short top hat (highly recommended and a guaranteed conversation-starter with strangers). An utterly pointless focus for the year but one that enhanced my life in multiple small ways.🌟. The previous year, I determined to pay more attention to opera, after realising during a period of heightened personal emotion that I always yearned for that soul-rinsing, cathartic passion when feeling depleted. Why only then?! (That actually and bizarrely resulted in an interim role working front-of-house in an opera house, despite knowing sweet FA about music and not being musically trained - knowing only how intense arias make me *feel* - which was a wonderful, insane privilege and source of great, great joy, as well as serving a practical need.🙏🏻)
Personal preference but I try to keep loose intentions, nothing as pressured or potentially self-berating as resolutions, though. Just something to trickle a little extra pleasure and/or beauty into my everyday world and for no actual grounded reason whatsoever, really 😂🙏🏻
(Not entirely sure why that was a winking emoji, either. Perhaps I should add ‘mindful emoji usage’ to mine this year.)
Can highly recommend! It’s a magical, magical artform. Excited to see what frivolities 2024 has in store 😉

Just sent this to my friend who’s obsessed with olives. Love this prompt. Got me thinking!
Love this idea. I forced myself to like olives too when I was younger, but that was for a whole different reason 😅
Get my husband to part with the wood chipper! I think he's ready to let go of it, but it's still a matter of getting him to haul it out of the garage.
I love this! So good!!
